    Thankfully, off of Lemmy people seem to get this, and we’re all talking construction and rezoning now.

      I think people who think about housing critically get it, but unfortunately I don’t think most Canadians get this, either on or off Lemmy. It’s too easy to see “1.3 Million Vacant Houses” and think that’s a solution for the Housing Crisis.

        I’m not used to having less political bullshit here, but I guess it could be regional.

        At the federal level they’re mostly doing tax breaks for potential owners, and subsidies for builders.
